Last week was recovery from RSA Conference, which was awesome. Cybercrime and Cloud were the main two themes, and I provided my Dark Cloud: Cybercriminals get Corporate Aware talk which draws upon both. I’m saying recovery, because during the conference one cannot be expected to respond to any emails, so the backlog is huge. Anyway, I’m back and t...

SWIFT magazine painting a wider picture. Only a question of time before TSU and e-invoicing services find each others. It is plain to see that a payment guarantee following on approval of an invoice can be extremely valuable both for the seller (can ship and can use invoice for financing) and buyer (gets the delivery faster – and cheaper financing ...

However, fraud will always move to the weakest area and exponential growth in use of the internet for banking and sho...

Statistics from the banking sector reveals that 129 000 enterprises were signed up last year. Adding a couple of additional months of brisk selling – and those signed up by a good number of non-bank service providers means that then total is now well north of 150 if not 160 000. This represents almost all actively trading enterprises. So now we ca...

About a month ago I was invited by an English university to talk to computer science students about the state of cybercrime and online banking fraud. The title of the lecture was “Crash Course: How to Become a Successful Online Fraudster”.

When we started looking for customers in the first payments startup I worked for, low hanging fruit were obvious. All you had to do to find them was look for a merchant's international shipping policy - or lack thereof - and continue from there. The value proposition we offered, where we would make final accept/decline decisions and insure them, w...

Transparent, honest and just pricing gives consumers a chance to act in their own interest. Lower costs for service providers will sooner rather than later lead to improved cost – benefit. To the extent that the rationalization benefits shareholders it is important to remember that the largest shareholders usually are public and private pension sch...

At the early stage of e-invoicing it was referred to as “dematerialization”. The benefits were seen as coming from not sending paper mail – but electronic mail. Now it has become very clear that the real benefits are in keeping the information in structural form (not de-electronizing it by printing or making it into a PDF-picture) and sending it as...
